If you are a business owner with a
website or an entrepreneur looking for a way to increase your income
without a lot of expense, an affiliate program may be just what you are
looking for. First, take a look at my
affiliate income below. These stats
start in January, 2004. You will see the excellent potential the Adult
Friend Finder affiliate program has and anyone over 18 can do it.
I'm not saying everyone will have
results like this but it is very possible. There are many factors for
having a successful affiliate campaign. You need patience! Just look at
the first month with only 16 sign ups. Since the Adult Friend Finder
affiliate program offers recurring billing, you will continue to build a
residual income. You can also see how your members and income will grow.
These are only my
Adult Friend Finder stats, they offer many
other affiliate programs you can promote such as a web cam site, many
non-adult dating sites, ethnic oriented dating sites, dating sites for
gays and lesbians, swingers and those with a wild and kinky side. I've
made well over the $100,000.00 mark with the Friend Finder network of
websites since January, 2004. There are other affiliates that have made
much more than I have too!
If you are already a website owner,
then the only investment you will have to make is time. It cost nothing,
it's free to join the
Adult
Friend Finder affiliate program.
I've been promoting various affiliate
programs since 1999 and nothing compares to online dating affiliate
programs. I've made some money off of
NASCAR collectibles,
sports tickets,
concert tickets
and others but
online dating is where the money is at.
I honestly wish I didn't have to be
involved with adult
websites but it is legal and until I find some other affiliate program
that does better than the Adult Friend Finder affiliate program, I will
continue to promote it. Plus you can also make money by referring other to
join. Just think, the person that signed me up has received 10% of
everything that I have made. Almost $15,000.00 for doing nothing but
referring a new affiliate via a banner ad.
If you're already convinced or tired of
reading and want to get started, just click the banner at the top of the
page or below the my stats to get signed up with the
Adult
Friend Finder affiliate program.
How can you be as successful or even
more successful than I have been? It's mainly based on how much time your
willing to spend and how you promote your website where your Adult Friend
Finder affiliate banners are located.
I have close to 60 websites targeting a
variety of subjects...
sports,
real estate,
travel and
vacations and
dating services.
I only promote the Adult Friend Finder affiliate program on my adult
websites and my dating sites which numbers around 10. For most affiliate
programs to be effective, you need to market what is relevant to the site
you are placing affiliate banners on.
EXAMPLE: I am in affiliate programs that sell concert tickets and music
cd's. I offer these on my
song lyrics
website and I created a website solely for
concert tickets.
Plus, "do as I say, not as I do!"
Try to limit the number of sites you have and stay focused on one or two.
I have my hands in too many cookie jars. If I stuck with what worked in
the first place, I would be even further ahead. Let me be your guinea pig,
if I find another affiliate program that works as well as online dating
programs do, I will let you know.
It's not magic either, you just don't
create a website and put a couple banners on it and have money start
flowing. It takes time, work and patience but you will be rewarded for
your efforts.
Getting Started
There's a lot to learn about websites and affiliate marketing. I will give
you the basics here so you can get off to a good start.
-
Put your plan in writing, get and stay
organized.
-
Think of a good domain name. Make sure
it has the word "dating" or "personals" in it. Use only one hyphen at the
most a try to get a .com or .net domain.
You can see what is available here:
If you've clicked on any of my website links above, you will see that
there are many good domain names available, just add a number to the end
of a .com domain name that is taken and you may find a winner. BUT, do not
infringe on the name of any companies such as adultfriendfinder2.com may
land you in court.
-
Find a
website hosting
company. If you're going the adult route, you will need an adult
hosting company. Read their terms of service. Many of these
web host offer free website
builders and they also include free dating scripts. You can also search
and find free dating site scripts and have them installed or give it a try
yourself. You will never catch up to the amount of members that Adult
Friend Finder or the other large dating sites have but you will have a
relevant website to post your affiliate banners and links on.
-
Install a link exchange script on your
site. Don't just settle for the first one you find. Look around. Something
new appears every few months.
-
Once your website is up and running you
will need to promote it. Start exchanging links with other dating sites.
Go to Google, Yahoo and MSN.com and visit the top 20 or 30 sites for each
popular keyword phrase you can think of: "adult dating", "adult
personals", "personal ads", "online dating", etc... Visit these site and
see if they accept link exchanges and read their submission directions.
You can start here with my
dating websites directory. Only submit your site to the most relevant
category for your website.
NEVER participate in or send spam e-mails to market your website.
-
Write a dating article and submit it to
free article sites such as goarticles.com and digg.com and many others. A
well written article will be picked up by many website owners and used on
their websites. As long as you correctly added your website link in your
article, these will all be free one way inbound links back to your
website.
-
Include your domain name (www.yourdatingsite.com)
in all your advertising and promotions.
-
Study internet marketing and website
promotion. If you try
PPC -
Pay Per Click campaigns, always set a daily or monthly budget. Do not
over spend on your advertising.
-
And one more tip I have yet to venture
into but I'm sure would work great. Create a video, make sure you edit in
your domain name in the beginning and end of the video and submit it to
YouTube and other free video websites. These are free TV commercials for
your website that can draw tons of traffic when done correctly.
Enjoy the money and "See you in
Vegas, Baby!"
